Default Pic Request: Egs with 17" wheels

Im not totally convinced that 17s will look good on such a small car. All the pics i saw of 17s were close ups of the wheels for the most part. Most specifically rota 17s doesn't matter which ones, but any 17s will do. Thanks in advanced.

For the most part they look too big for the car, especially hatchbacks and coupes. It is more the style of a few years ago and when it comes to wheels function has been becoming more popular than form. Stick with 16s or smaller, unless you like the way 17s look and that's your thing. In which case go for it

Oh and next time post this in the appearance/cosmetic section. Because there is no tech in here you will probably get reamed, so watch out.

The bigger wheels themselves on such a small car will slow you down a lot. Too much weight to rotate, and you can stuff a big brake kit in 16s. Or you can always go Hawk pads with Brembo blanks.

If your looking to race just go with 16's at the most, best off sticking with 15's though. You can still get some big brakes in behind them
